Abstract: Resettled Indochinese refugees are widely scattered across New York State with the only major concentration in New York City. At the elementary and secondary levels, the refugee students are enrolled in about 150 of 750 school districts, with few districts having more than an average of five children scattered through the K-12 grades. Outside New York City, the largest concentrations are in Rochester, Syracuse, Jamestown, and Binghamton--except for one small rural district in the north that enrolled 19 children. At the onset, based on visits to several schools, numerous phone calls, and other reports, it was found that the experience in the vast majority of schools has been excellent. In fact, many of the other 600 school districts would have benefited from facing up to and coping with the problems posed by children from an Asian culture who did not speak English. Teachers in the many school districts that have not needed previously to provide English as a Second Language programs or to try to understand and cope with such cultural differences have developed new skills and appreciations that will make them better teachers for all children. A wide variety of accommodations have been made in different school districts to cope with the entrance of refugee children. (Author)
